Which one is better SuSE Linux Professional Edition v8.0 or Mandrake Linux - Standard Edition v8.2

[pecel]

Just about to build Linux box to kill my summer time.
Which one is better?
I'm a newbie on Linux.
Any suggestion or comment?

Thanks.

SuSE Professional is very slick. If you have access to it, definitely try that out. Mandrake is good, a very polished Red Hat really. I really liked SuSE when I played with it a little bit at work. I've traditionally used Red Hat..Regards

Suse is better.

Is Suse v8.0 available for download? I looked in their FTP site and found that there's a "liveeval-8.0". What's that? I'm just starting out with my own Linux box and want to get on board with something nice and easy but also good.

Thanks in advance!

You can't download the full version, only an eval version that will run off of the CD, not install onto your computer.
